About the Book


gāyaty ukthāni śāstrāņi bhargam prāņāṁs tathaiva ca|| tataḥ smrteyam gāyatri sāvitrī yata eva ca | prakāśini sā savitur vāg-rūpatvāt sarasvati ||


Because it reveals (gayati) the Vedic mantras and scriptures, the Lord (bhargam) and the cause of the jīvas (prāņān), it is called gāyatrī. Because it reveals savitā it is called Sāvitrī. Because it is the form of words it is called sarasvati.


- Gāyatri Vyākhyā, Introductory Verse


madhuram madhuram vapur asya vibhor madhuraṁ madhuraṁ vadanam madhuram || madhu gandhi mrdu smitam etad aho madhuram madhuram madhuram madhuram ||


The body of the Lord is very sweet. His face is even sweeter. Ah! His gentle smile, smelling of honey, is the sweetest.


- Krñņa-karņāmộta, Verse 9


gāyatrī gāyantam trāyate tasmāt gāyatrītvam tataḥ smộtam iti


It is said in scriptures that Gāyatrī indicates that which delivers the chanter.


- Mantrārtha Dīpika, Concluding Verse
